For 20.99 you can get a mellow single barrel vintage bourbon bottled at 86.6 proof. A heaven hill offering since 1983 this is truly a unique product in its price range. For me and many others the meaning small batch has basically no meaning since its definition is different for different producers. without any real definition of what small batch is you dont always know what you're getting. However single barrel vin trages are a completely different story, they are barrels selected by the master distiller to be reserved for a single batch of bottles that are labeled corresponding to the barrel they came from. This differs greatly from traditional small batch products where many barrels can be blended together. It is for this reason I so greatly enjoy this product. You never know exactly what you will be getting if you get two bottles from diffrent barrels, you just know it's going to be good. Very oily bourbon, had long fingers on the glass, incredibly smooth and complex when drank meat, slight floral notes when a few drops of water are added. Delightful neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail!
